    I was 2.5-2.7 all weekend. I forgot my sock and that all the slower I can go. GPS speed of course.

    does your bible have depth range for #18 floaters?

    1.7 to 2.0 on a GPS. Where I was into 20″ fish is now turning out 23″ to 24″. It is like they are coming out of a cookie cutter.

    2.6? Man, I thought anything above 2 was too fast. I’m new to this trolling crankbaits, it’s been a fun learning curve for me. I can’t troll down lower than 2.9 on the big motor, so I’ve been using the bow mount at 1.6. Maybe I’m trolling too slow?

    I’ve been having my best luck at 1.8-2.2 on the GPS. Although some nights they want it faster than that.
